Join us on this Turtle Eco Adventure to see green sea turtles in Hawaii! When it comes to turtles in Oahu, this is your best deal! We're all about small groups, so that we can focus on providing an awesome experience of swimming with turtles in Oahu. The sea turtles of Hawaii can be found on many parts of the island, but we are the only Oahu Circle Island Tour that will take you to a Hawaii turtle beach where you can have snorkeling as an option and the possibility of swimming with many Hawaiian green sea turtles on Oahu's famous North Shore. (Weather conditions permitting)

But remember, we are more than just a snorkel with turtles tour, this will be a full day exploring approximately twelve of the island’s most popular destinations. Enjoy a midday extended break at Haleiwa Town where we take you to one of the best beaches that you can go swimming with turtles in Hawaii. End your day on the north shore hanging out with the Hawaiian sea turtles at the magnificent sandy beach and lastly touring the historic Dole Plantation where you can enjoy shopping and famous pineapple ice cream.

Have you ever had the chance to snorkeling with turtles in Oahu? Here is your chance! Don’t worry, we are professionals and are here to help you if it is your first time or your fiftieth time. No pressure. If you would rather bask in the sun and hang with the turtles on the beach, that’s fine too. Why pay other tours up to $100 for 3 hours of snorkeling when you can do it with us at your leisure with professional assistance and get all the advantages of our unique turtle tour?

Our 20 passenger vehicles are clean, quiet, and air conditioned. These modest sized vehicles allow us to journey to different special locations the larger buses ignore.

Oahu turtle tour destinations:

Diamond Head Lookout – (5-10min)The most famous volcanic crater in the world is Diamond Head, located on the South-east Coast of Oahu at the end of Waikiki overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The name was given to the crater by British sailors in the 1800s. When they first saw the crater at a great distance, the calcite crystals in the lava rock appeared to glimmer in the sunlight. The sailors mistakenly thought there must be diamonds in the soil. Diamond Head is a crater that has been extinct for 150,000 years. The crater is 3,520 feet in diameter with a 760-foot summit. Our tour stops at a stunning outlook of panoramic views of the Pacific Coast on Diamond Head.

Halona Blowhole – (10-15min)The blowhole is a natural occurrence formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. The lava tubes run to the ocean and, when the surf is right, the blowhole shoots water up to 30 feet in the air. The larger the waves, the larger the spray.

Sandy BeachCalled “Sandy’s” by the locals, Sandy Beach, on Oahu’s southeastern coast, is a favorite of experienced body-boarders. When the surf is calm, this is a superb beach for swimming. However, when the surf is up, this beach can be treacherous due to the shore break and rip tide currents. Experienced body surfers find that the waves here have no equal anywhere else on the island.

Makapu’u Beach – (5-10min)Awesome beach on the east side of Oahu with beautiful scenery of Rabbit Island and the Makapu’u Lighthouse. This beach is favorable among locals and not at all crowded. It is especially good for boogie boarding and body surfing.

Secret Beach – (15-20min)Rarely visited by tourists, this amazing beach has turquoise blue waters and miles of some of the softest white sand your will toes will ever touch! The beach slopes gently into the ocean providing a wonderful area for swimming and cooling off on our way around the island.

Macadamia Nut Farm – (15-20min)For over a decade, the Macadamia Nut Farm has been dedicated to offering the finest agricultural and cosmetic products at a fair price, in the most beautiful place, Hawaii. Sample free coffee or mac nuts or even learn how to crack your own macadamia nut!

Sunset Beach – (5-10min)Haleiwa and the North Shore of Oahu are known as the surfing capitol of the world. Vans Triple Crown- The Super Bowl of Surfing, is held here during November and December. Winter on the North Shore bring waves that may reach up to 20 feet. When the surf is pounding, this beautiful North Shore beach is the most spectacular in the world. Pipeline is THE wave every serious surfer wants to ride because it is the hardest. When it comes to surf, no matter what happens anywhere else in the world, it all comes back to the Banzai Pipeline!

Lunch @ Turtle Town – (30-40min)Located on the beautiful Anahulu river in Haleiwa on the Oahu’s North Shore our lunch location boasts great food, beautiful scenery, Shave Ice, swimming, and shaded sitting arrangements. The private property is owned by a local family and sits on 22 acres just up the river from the famous double bridge at Haleiwa boat harbor. It is a great place to eat and relax. Our Gold tour option includes usage of a kayak or SUP (stand-up paddleboard). Paddling up the river is great fun! If you choose the Gold Option, you will be shuttled to Alii Beach Park after your paddling adventure to join the rest of the tour group for a half hour of swimming and snorkeling.

Turtle Beach with Snorkeling – (60min)This beach offers great sand and an opportunity to relax. But best of all are the green sea turtles! These green sea turtles (honu) come close into to shore to feed on the seaweed growing on the rocks. These amazing reptiles can live up to be 80 years old! So whether you are viewing turtles from the beach, or watching them with a mask and snorkel, remember they have been on this earth a lot longer than we have so give them the respect they deserve. Always keep your distance and never try and touch or feed the turtles.

Dole Plantation – (30min)Everything you need to know about pineapples. The Dole plantation has been open to the public since 1989 and is now one of Oahu’s most popular visitor attractions and welcomes more than one million visitors a year. The Pineapple Express and the Plantation Garden Tour are just a few of the activities for families to take part in. One of the greatest Oahu tour destinations!

H Tours Hawaii is a "one stop shop" for all the best activities in the Hawaiian Islands. Since we work with many providers, reservations are necessary. WE HIGHLY recommend making reservations, as many activities are at a discount when you reserve in advance. Some providers even charge higher for those "walking in" because they know chances are you're not going to walk away. Finally, a reservation ensures you have a space on the tour. Trust us you don't want to spend so much time and money to come to Hawaii and then miss out on an activity because they were booked out!

While we can usually accommodate most last-minute bookings, we highly encourage those that are checking out our website far in advance to book 2-3 weeks prior to desired date. You never know if there's a convention, special event, or an increase in overall visitors in town, and it would be a shame if the activities that you want to do are sold out because you waited until the last minute. Basically, if you know you want to do it, just book it!

You can see turtles year round in Hawaii on Oahu. It has less to do about the time and more about location. There are certain beaches that turtles like to go and sunbathe like Laniakea Beach and Puaena Point, both in the North Shore of Oahu.

On our trip to Hawaii we had the opportunity to take a tour with this company. With Bo as our guide, and Victor driving the van we toured the north shore of Oahu. Bo was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area. He had lots of obscure trivia, and history of the area. This tour included snorkeling, a visit to pipeline, lunch, paddle boarding, and the Dole pineapple plantation. We had a blast. ... moreHe even took us to a beach where the turtles were swimming in the surf just inches away from us. During the paddle board trip, I had the opportunity to see a manta ray in its natural environment. Awesome! Bo's knowledge of the island and Victors skill in driving (I tend to get carsick) made this a fantastic trip. The size of our tour was perfect, we had about 20 people in all. With the small size it felt like a private tour. Bo was able to make everyone feel important. I would highly recommend this tour. Oh and you can buy your tickets from William on the beach at Waikiki. A very nice and helpful man.

This tour was awesome! It takes you around all of Oahu and stops at some of the most breath taking vistas. It's a great tour to see the entire island in one day. Our guide was Justin and our driver was Casey, who were great. Stopped at some really cool local spots as well as some very well known stops. Highly recommend this tour.

An incredible tour. Great price! Kevin hooked us up and got us hyped for the tour. Bo was our guide! Such a cool dude, very knowledgeable and ecstatic to share what he knew about the land. Romeo, our driver, was very kind and helpful. (: We saw sea turtles both on the beach and paddle boarding..DEFINITELY recommend SUP it's a lot easier than expected and such fun. The beaches were Killer..overall ... moreit's a great way to see/experience the north shore. Plus it gives you an idea of where to venture to on your own!

Our driver (Milo) gave us an amazing tour, full of great facts about the island! He was funny and engaging and pointed out a number of things we had missed when we rented a car and drove around the island on our own. Loved the little stops along the way, including our lunch. The actual turtle part where we snorkled on a coral reef with sea turtles was AMAZING and truly unforgettable! Bring your beach ... moreshoes!**Important tip: Bring at least $60-100 cash. Some vendors at the Macadamia Nut place don't accept credit, plus you'll also need about $20-25/per person cash for lunch and fresh fruit at the fruit stands along the side of the road. . . and to tip your driver!

My husband and I are on our honeymoon and this was our first excursion while being in Hawaii and it was AMAZING! Our driver was Casey and our guide was Bo (I'm probably spelling his name wrong) and they were amazing. Bo had sooooooo much information and made the experience very fun. Once we got the the north shore to snorkel about 15min in it started to rain... Extremely hard. So needless to say we ... moredidn't stay there long lol it was to hard to see. But we did get to see amazingly gorgeous beaches and eat the best food at lunch (BRING CASH!). When we come back to islands we will definitely be doing this tour again. It was nice to get out of Waikiki and adventure out and see more of what beautiful Hawaii had to offer. Thank you Casey and Bo for our amazing tour of the island and all the stories and cool facts!

One of the major attractions of Hawaii is the green sea turtles. Although I would have multiple opportunities to see them in their natural habitat during my stay in Oahu, this tour not only provided me with an up-close encounter to swim with turtles oahu, but also with some great insight and experiences around the island of Oahu as well.... more

The tour included all of the places I had wanted to see and experience, including the Macadmia Nut Farm, Dole Plantation, Sunset Beach and many more. We had ample time at each place for fun and pictures. Our guide and driver were very nice and extremely informative on the rich history of Hawaii and of every place we went to. They even had some advice for my upcoming surf lesson.

The size of the tour was small so it was much more personable and provided for a very leisurely experience. After a grand tour, we snorkeled at a spot scoped out by the guides where I was lucky enough to get nearly a good hour in the water with a turtle. I'm only hoping my underwater camera caught a moment!

It was a great day and I would recommend the Turtle Tour to anyone wishing to get a full day out on the Island, away from the city and see some sea turtles oahu!

We got a great overview of the lovely island of Oahu, our guide Mark, was a local and gave us so many great tips on what to do and where to go whilst on this island. He loved the outdoors so he knew where all the walking tracks were and where to find the hidden gems away from the tourist trail. Unfortunately, we joined the tour on our last day before heading home so we were not able to make the most ... moreof his recommendations but do consider this tour as one of your first tours whilst at Oahu so you can really make the most of the island. We were so lucky to be able to swim with a really big sea turtle, they are so majestic and gentle. Don't worry about bringing snorkel gear, they provide it. However, i recommend reef shoes if you have sensitive feet, even the sand on the beach is not the smoothest, as it has rocks and coral in it. The weather was perfect, there is a place to change into your swimmers when you are at the beach so you don't have to wear the swimmers all day.There were plenty of stops so we could take in some beautiful scenery. Other major stops were the Dole plantation (try the pineapple ice-cream!), and a macadamia farm.The lunch was delicious! we tried the garlic prawns and the pork! Don't just the book by its cover, the shop may look run down but the food is A grade.Last but not least, i wish to mention Harry our driver, very courteous and is a lovely man. As we were about to finish the tour, he brought out his brand new, direct from Korea, Karaoke system and serenade us with an Elvis song! What an awesome what to finish off a perfect tour! Mahalo!

My sisters and I did the Turtle Tour to the North Shore and had a wonderful time. We had Harry as our driver and Josh as our guide. Josh was absolutely wonderful and full of entertaining stories and Harry is a very safe driver with a wicked sense of humour. We stopped at Secret Beach, Sunset Beach, macadamia farm, Dole Plantation and Haleiwa which is where the turtles are and I'm probably leaving ... moreout a couple of other places. It was raining on our tour day so we were given the option of swimming or being dropped off in Haleiwa town. Most people opted for Haleiwa town and a couple of adventurous people went for a swim. After we were picked up in Haleiwa, they took us to the beach to see the turtles as they didn't want us to miss out. There were two enormous turtles on the beach which was certainly a highlight of the day. The whole day was just wonderful. It’s a small group with expert guides who know and love the North Shore. We were given ample time for photos in each place. I would highly recommend this. We absolutely loved spending the day with Josh.

One of the differences between this company and others is that Turtle Tours guarantees that you get to step onto Sunset Beach (as well as see turtles). Some North Shore tours only drive past Sunset Beach and you don't get to walk on it.

OMG! Raoul & Ron what a team. These guys were AWESOME!!!. Ron used much care & caution the entire day as he drove us all around the island. Also taking great care of our belongings when we were off the bus to get photos and enjoy lunch. Raoul proved to be a wealth of knowledge and was extremely entertaining. The only day of our trip that we experienced a little light rain, but could have cared less ... morebecause of our amazing tour guides. The beauty of the island seem to come more alive on this tour. From the beautiful beaches, amazing mountains, to the macadamia nuts we were able to taste at Tropical Farms, the shrimp we had for lunch and the pineapple ice cream we had at Dole Plantation, this was the best tour. Can't say enough about these two guys, anyone can drive you around the island, but these two guys made it such a great time, teaching us so much history and entertaining us the whole day. It was also my birthday, and was the best one yet. Not only did Raoul keep calling me "birthday girl" close to the end of the tour, a group of others on the tour sang happy birthday to me. At our drop off point at the end of the day, even asked if we could just go around one more time we were having so much fun. Now listen up. If you go to Oahu, Hawaii this is a must do tour, and please ask for Raoul & Ron when you make your reservations. You will have a blast and learn so much doing it.

we literally just finished the the island turtle tour Oahu and i couldn't wait to post our review…it was that GOOD! we live in Florida, recently retired and we are here only for the day as it is a cruise ship port of call….doing research on trip advisor we decided on this oahu turtle tour ….... moreBenjy and Casey did some great logistical work to accommodate us, as our ship was a little late docking… from start to finish their email and phone contact and customer service was exceptional…the tour itself….WOW…just WOW…Raul IS DA MAN!…probably the best tour we have ever done….the turtles were awesome, the other folks on the tour were great (mostly Aussie's so you know we laughed a lot) and lunch was very good…

my advice to anyone coming to Honolulu for a visit is to BEGIN your visit with this tour…Raul was really great about pointing out things to do on your own during your time here…

final thoughts: did i mention Raul's love and respect for the islands is infectious…he is really funny, and he makes everyone on the tour feel like family?

Had a fantastic day touring around with our guide Eric! So many great sights... Blow holes, beaches, shrimp farm, fruit stand, Dole with their yummy ice cream, and the turtles!!! Simply amazing day! Will certainly book this tour again when we are back!

Palani is by far the best tour guide you could ever ask for. He is full of information about the islands and is an entertaining "sit down comedian" *his words :)*. The views of the island alone made this an incredible tour, Palani just made it that much better. If you're looking to explore the entire Island of Oahu, I highly recommend the tour!

Chose this tour because it seemed like the best option for circle island tours. All my friends had told me that there were turtles on Oahu, and I didn't want to leave the island without seeing them and even possibly swimming with them! I was very pleased. Many stops, we had time to hang at the beach and snorkel with Oahu sea turtles. Saw lots of turtles!

Beautiful beaches, shrimp farm, snorkeling, magnificent turtles and Dole Plantation for pineapple ice cream to end the day. Shane is an fantastic tour guide! Thanks for a great day and great Hawaiian memories :0)

My husband & I went on circle island tour with snorkeling with turtles June 26th. It was get day. Casey was driver & Raul was guide. They were very entertaining & very knowledgeable. It was my first time to the islands. Snorkeling with turtles was the coolest thing I've ever done in my life. The were about 4 sea turtles on the day. They were massive & amazing to see. Stop through out the day were ... moregreat tropical farms (♥ macadamia kona coffee), shrimp shack (love coconut prawns) & Dole plantation (must have pineapple cream, so yummy) Thank guys for such great day. It was great since we were only there for small amount time & we seen allot. Can't wait to go back. Will definitely go on one of your tours again! !

Thanks KC for a wonderful day from the Aussies...it was an amazing day, especially having the turltes come up to us when snorkeling. Full of information about the island. Shrimp truck meal yum and the ice cream at Dole plantation. Fantastic day.
